We are seeking a reliable, safety-minded, mechanically inclined Tire Pressman to join our team. Previous tire-industry experience is helpful but not required — we are willing to train the right person.
We value dependability, good judgment, professionalism, safety awareness, and willingness to learn more than prior tire experience.

Our company has been manufacturing tires since 1953 right here in the heart of Chattanooga, TN. We are expanding! This is a salaried position, safe from layoffs, with 40 hours a week; we respect your need for work-life balance. Bonuses are available after your training period (6 months) is completed, and insurance benefits are available after 90 days.

- Promptly communicate equipment issues, safety concerns, delays, or incomplete work.
- Communicate professionally with customers and coworkers.
Qualifications
- Must be mechanically inclined.
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record.
- Strong safety awareness and attention to detail.
- Ability to follow detailed instructions and manage multiple priorities.
- Good judgment and willingness to ask questions when clarification is needed.
- Coachable and receptive to training and feedback.
- Ability to work independently and remain productive without constant supervision.
- Ability to perform the physical requirements of the position, including standing, lifting and handling tires/materials, and repetitive physical work.
Preferred, Not Required
- Tire mounting/demounting or other tire-industry experience.
- Forklift experience.
